The Quest for Immortality

The sword blade pierced through the skull, golden light gradually dispersed, slicing open the dark, filthy Evil Baby tainted with evil qi, black blood, and amniotic fluid-like impurity, bit by bit.

It was shocked, angry, terrified, but helpless.

The intimidation of the Soul-Shocking Sword still lingered, it couldn’t break free from Mo Hua’s hands that were strangling its throat. The astonishing Sword Intent condensed from Transforming Sword Skill pierced deeply into its skull, the Sword Qi was grinding it to death.

”You... damn you...”

The voice of the Evil Baby was filled with shrill screams.

Mo Hua remained indifferent, instead, he mobilized all his Divine Thoughts to gather stronger Sword Intent, infusing it entirely into the Sword of Divine Thought.

The embryo of the Evil God held innate memories, it must not be allowed to grow.

Therefore, he had to seize the opportunity, unleash his killing move, and with thunderous methods, utterly slay it.

The sword qi and black qi were intertwined.

It was unknown how long they remained locked in a stalemate, but finally, the Evil Baby lost its consciousness, a blank look, its pupils demising, no longer struggling, the black blood on its body gradually dried up, and the evil qi was annihilated bit by bit by the sword light.

Ultimately, it completely dissipated.

Mo Hua frowned, releasing his divine sense to perceive the surroundings, finding no eerie presence, only then did he feel slightly relieved.

Yet simultaneously, he had some doubts in his mind.

”Is it dead already?”

”Body and soul both extinguished, even no ashes left?”

Mo Hua shook his head:

”The evil qi was eerie, even growing ram horns, I thought it was some formidable foe, turned out just this sort, an inexperienced little lamb... ”

Mo Hua snorted coldly, with some disdain.

Yet it was merely idle talk, deep down he knew clearly, this Evil Baby was the strongest Evil Mind Body he had encountered thus far.

The Divine Soul was bizarre and powerful, possessing innate heritage.

If it were truly allowed to grow for a while longer, mature, and complete its transformation, victory or defeat would be hard to say.

And even now, Mo Hua had already strangled this ”Evil Baby” in the cradle, but he paid quite a price.

The injury to his Divine Soul worsened.

His divine sense was nearly exhausted.

If not for the Compound Formation of Divine Thoughts and the Soul-Shocking Sword and Transforming Sword Skill in Sword Transformation being held as his trump cards, utilized at critical moments to reverse the situation.

He might have fought until his strength was drained, yet might not have been able to slay this ram-horn Evil Baby.

And after the bitter battle, his Divine Soul started to ache faintly, and his Divine Thought was somewhat unsupported.

Mo Hua furrowed his brows.

”Better rest for a while...”

Mo Hua muttered, then directly severed the connection with the Divine Authority Tree, his Divine Thought left the altar, returning to his own Sea of Consciousness. ŗＡNÓβÊṤ

In his Sea of Consciousness, with no evil demons disturbing, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly began to meditate in sitting silence.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Mo Hua held his breath, calmed his mind, and sat quietly.

As he focused entirely, with closed eyes, peacefully meditating, his unsettled Divine Soul gradually calmed, and the over-consumed Divine Thought also began to recover bit by bit.

Yet in unnoticed corners.

Thin strands of black qi were gradually emerging.

This strand of black qi was extremely obscure, but also filled with intense evil thoughts, born from the void, gradually reviving, growing stronger, finally coalescing together, transforming into a pitch-black ram-horn monstrous snake, from behind Mo Hua, opened its mouth dripping black blood, suddenly biting down.

But before it could bite down, a delicate hand already grasped its neck.

Mo Hua, unknown when, had already opened his eyes, observing it curiously.

The ram-horned black snake struggled on its own.

Yet Mo Hua’s hand was like a vise, completely motionless.

Ultimately, the black qi directly dissipated, escaping from Mo Hua’s hand, regathered in the distance, again transformed into the entirely black, ram-horned, ugly and monstrous Evil Baby.

It looked at Mo Hua with venomous eyes, its voice gloomy:

”You know I am attached to you?”

Mo Hua remained silent.

He indeed knew, the Evil Baby was attached to him.

Just now in his perception, this Evil Baby was indeed killed by him, the Divine Soul extinguished, and not a trace of presence remained.

But Mo Hua knew, things were far from simple.

Having confronted the Evil God many times, some manifestations of Divine Remains were already quite troublesome, let alone this ”Divine Fetus” with a more intense original aura.

It couldn’t be killed by just him alone.

Yet Mo Hua was somewhat puzzled.

This Evil Baby had attached to him... but where exactly?

Earlier, he repeatedly perceived many times, never detecting even the slightest breath of the Evil God.

If this were so, then the concealment and stealth ability of the Evil God were truly terrifying...

It’s likely there aren’t many cultivators in the same realm who can endure the Evil God’s ”infiltration”...

Mo Hua’s expression turned a bit stern.

The Evil Baby saw Mo Hua in deep thought, ignoring it, somewhat angry, but after a while, it instead sneered coldly:

”Out of nowhere to create a formation, Divine Thought into sword technique... In the inherited memories, you are indeed the most powerful among all low-level Divine Way entities.”

”Even some Second Grade Gods born with the Dao of the Earth are far inferior to you.”

”I am the Evil God, polluting degraded some gods not adept at killing, without even a hint of difficulty, but you, I have to admit, with my current yet-to-awaken abilities, I truly cannot kill you.”

”This is my acknowledgment of you, and you are worthy of pride.”

Mo Hua pursed his lips, utterly unimpressed.

The Evil Baby’s forehead twitched, tolerating Mo Hua’s impoliteness.

The rudeness of the weak would be considered an offense.

The rudeness of the strong would always earn more tolerance.

After both fought till now, as the Divine Fetus of the Great Wilderness Evil God, the Evil Baby held more tolerance towards Mo Hua.
